Deputies of the Moscow Regional Duma, senators of the Russian Federation, deputies of the State Duma, relevant ministers of the Moscow Region, representatives of public associations of entrepreneurs, members of the Public Chamber of the Moscow Region, businessmen and experts voiced their opinion on the adopted and pending federal and regional measures to support business.

Business Ombudsman Vladimir Golovnev, speaking to the audience, noted that the most difficult thing for entrepreneurs in the current economic situation was the severance of business ties.

"Unfortunately, our business was not ready for full import substitution. Partnerships that have been built for years may be ended overnight. Work on finding suppliers needs to start from scratch, and this will take time. Therefore, in the current situation, it is important to support not only small enterprises, for which a wide list of anti-crisis measures has been adopted at both the federal and regional levels, but also large ones. Since they are systemically important, a large number of small organizations are tied to them, they pay heavy taxes, thousands of jobs have been created. And there are many such large enterprises in the Moscow Region", the Commissioner stressed. "Since the beginning of 2022, I have already received more than 650 appeals with complaints, questions and, what is gratifying, constructive suggestions. Entrepreneurs from the Moscow Region talk about the need to reduce the tax burden, simplify procedures, and increase income limits for categories of SMEs.

Regarding state control – there is a propose to conduct on-site inspections only if there is a real risk of causing damage, to bring test sheets to entrepreneurs for self-control, to replace penalties in the form of a fine with a warning, and in cases where it is impossible by law, to apply the least severe punishment and much more", Vladimir Golovnev said.

He also noted that the existing list of anti-crisis measures is not exhaustive. Based on the opinion of the business community, additional support measures will be developed jointly with relevant ministries and the Moscow Regional Duma.
